Thanks, this is exactly what I needed to get started. I can un-wrap the 
lines no problem, only a few were anyway.

I'm assuming you're using ssh keys? My current hobbit server 
installation (from FreeBSD ports) has no home dir set, so it looks like 
I'll have to set one to store its side of the keys.
